THE BEYOND 9/11 PROJECT

For every American teacher the tragedy of September
11, 2001 presented one of the greatest personal
and professional challenges of a lifetime: How
to cope with the psychological and social repercussions
of the attacks? How to address the imperative
questions? How to help students put these events
into meaningful perspective?

The Beyond September 11 Project was formed
to sustain this desire to learn and encourage

The Beyond September 11 Project is a consortium
